Subaru Boxer Engine
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Baja Turbo with Leather Package shown in Obsidian Black Pearl with accessory splash guards.
Press the accelerator to get outstanding power, along with a healthy dose of innovation. At the heart
of the Baja is the SUBARU BOXER engine, with pistons laid fl at in horizontal opposition. Used in every
Subaru, this design lowers the center of gravity, providing more precise handling while increasing
durability and reducing vibration. Balance. Stability. Power. Its what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
All-wheel drive isnt unique. But our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is. Its ideal equilibrium, with
its fore, aft and lateral balance, helps ensure stability and poise. And its effi ciency at transmitting power
ensures greater grip and quick response to slippage. Providing more than just safety on slick roads,
it delivers intensifi ed performance on any road. All-wheel drive isnt just our heritage, its our passion.
Transmissions Choose between our fully
synchronized 5-speed manual transmission,
or the optional smooth-shifting 4-speed
automatic unit. The Turbo Leather Package
provides an automatic with SPORTSHIFT
manual control for even better drivability.
Control The full-time AWD system in the
Subaru Baja delivers power to all four wheels
continuously, resulting in greater traction for more predictable handling. When slippage is
detected, the system instantly transfers power from the wheels with the least amount of grip
to the ones with the most. Enhanced adhesion. Maximum safety. More peace of mind.
Baja Turbo To get you to your destination even faster, the available turbocharged
and intercooled 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine stirs up a potent 210 horsepower and
235 lb-ft of torque. The Active Valve Control System delivers increased low-end
power and greater breathing at higher engine speeds, so the intensifi ed performance
is there whenever you want it.
